It's commonly said in scifi that any spacecraft is a warhead whose yield is only limited by how much fuel you have to accelerate it with.
The same basically applies to cars.

I would straight up ban them and just make an "official" post when it can reliably be claimed that it's reached a 5-point interval, e.g. 5/10/15/20 etc..

I checked the places near me and yeah a normal-ass haircut STARTS at $50, many places get very close to literally charging 80 bucks for a standard haircut.

$30 bucks maybe gets you a children's haircut, here. Maybe.

baffling that this isn't bog standard anywhere that isn't horribly car dependent.

Like, we have a bunch of big factories basically smack in the middle of my town, and people continue to drive the like 5 kilometers there EVERY SINGLE DAY even when they know for a fact that fistfights break out over parking spaces and the weather is perfect.
I genuinely wonder if there's anything that could convince these people to stop driving, if they'd drive to work even if there was a 50% chance of being shot in the face when exiting the car.

Perhaps more mildly infuriating is that the mods here seem to be on vacation

"the public can’t be trusted to provide decent seeds"

how on god's green earth do you manage to convince yourself that gatekeeping gardening is what you should spend your time on?

aggretsuko is a documentary

do you want to drive 3 hours to work every day?

so here's my "no stupid questions": How on god's green earth could you possibly afford tipping a barber 20%? Are american barbers dirt cheap or do you just actually consider it perfectly reasonable to pay closer to 100 bucks for someone to trim your hair?

"but Stephen, there are no fixed points in space. Space is relative, meaning you can only define positions relative to other things. You demand the fundamentally physically impossible of me, Stephen."

reminder that every time people complain about wokeness they're literally just complaining about being conscious about systemic racism, because that's what woke means.

Just replace "woke" with "being a decent person" and it becomes pretty clear what these people want.

I hate how people talk about off grid living as something you can pull off alone, that's difficult even if you allow for buying food and installing all kinds of fancy infrastructure in your home.

The truth is that properly sustainable and reliable off-grid living requires a small community, because you need a lot of labour.
